Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

[Aspirin]

I found a new kit through this one. Close distance and he is most likely from R. Moldova. However, I can't trace the guy exactly, but according to the forename+surname and Facebook, all 4 potential candidates are from R. Moldova.
One was born in Floresti and the rest in Chisinau (2 of them live abroad).
I emailed the guy just in case. Hopefully he'll answer.

If this one is from Republic, clearly have ancestry from the south with so high West Asian, weird results.

But the point that I'm trying to make is that 85cM is a lot, so the ancestors of this guy were recently mixed with some kind of Anglo.

Maybe both have some kind of Jewish ancestry? Unless that's a false match altogether.

JA8090639 is pure Russian, the one with 46% Baltic.
DN1116786, the one with 39% Baltic and 9% South Asian, has a full Roma as the closest match and then Ukrainians. With his results he is probably 1-2/4 Roma and the rest Ukrainian.

Yes, most likely from the South if it's from here.

Maybe both have some kind of Jewish ancestry? Unless that's a false match altogether.

85cM is a lot for the results that he's getting first of all, but secondly Jews have a strong founder effect, so he should have been covered in Jewish matches with the same length of shared segments, which is not the case.

This one, who gets 45% Baltic, has a 83cM match, so 3rd cousin, in West Ukraine.
His second closest match, at 37.5cM is also Ukrainian and so are those at 20cM.

His 3rd cousin

The person with 36% Baltic also is related to the same West Ukrainian. The full Moldovan? Ukrainian from above had a relationship of 83cM, while this one of 74cM. Still, that's by far his closest match.
So this guy's family was at a minimum mixed with one Ukrainian very recently.

The surname of the Ukrainian cousin is Kolomiychenko btw. You can see it if you'll search by email.

85cM is a lot for the results that he's getting first of all, but secondly Jews have a strong founder effect, so he should have been covered in Jewish matches with the same length of shared segments, which is not the case.

Then prolly an American with some Romanian ancestry, like 1/4 Romanian for example.

[Aspirin]

Based on all samples from Republic who were posted here, can be observed a clearly invisible line who radically change the results in southern areas compared to the areas northern of this line.

The red line I made based on these results and their geographic location.


Compare with the ethnic map of the country.

Yes, I agree with that, because now I have proof. Can't be Romanian from Romania though at this strength of the relationship. 83cM is so much that it's not even from the other side of the country, but very close by, like 50km or so.
